You always complain about your boss, until you study for a PhD
... then you realize that doing things without having the pressure of a boss takes awful lot more time. The perk of being on your own, however, is that it is less likely that you end up doing something stupid.
I just wish I worked in things that I could show to others
That was said by a friend of mine who was pursuing his PhD, one evening after I told him about the construction sites I have worked at. Years later, as I am pursuing my own PhD, I fully understand his words: it is just difficult to endure at a task that cannot be seen at all, not even by its creator sometimes. The bright side is, if you wait long enough, the delay for your impact to show will be compensated by its magnitude.
